According to the IMF, around 60 percent of the Africa's population engages in the informal sector - a world where many workers navigate the challenges of vulnerability while seeking dignified employment. In this episode, Lilly and her guest, Wangeci Kamau, the innovative founder of Good Housekeeping Africa, shine a light on the realities of domestic work and informal employment, advocating for dignity, respect, and fair treatment. UNDP's insights into the informal economy, post-COVID-19, underscore the critical moment for African governments to embrace inclusive, sustainable recovery strategies that acknowledge and bolster the informal economy's role​​. This episode is a call to action, urging a transformation in the domestic help industry and inspiring hope for a more equitable future. Follow Good House Keeping Africa:Instagram FacebookYouTube Follow Selam & Hello:Instagram YouTubeTikTok Website Email us at: [email protected]@selamandhello.com Music Credits: Selam & Hello Jingle by Silas PiperProduction by: Sahihi Africa Productions
